Our love for poultry farming was handed down to us by our mother Bernie, who reared chickens all of our lives, in what was a thriving cottage industry among the farming communities of Cavan and Monaghan. She taught us the importance of hard-work, respect for animals and a commitment to producing food in the most sustainable way. Taking the principals adopted by our mother, we identified a gap in the market for high quality, sustainably produced, free-range chicken on a larger scale. Armed with this we worked hard to become the first farmers in Ireland to receive a licence to produce Free Range Chicken from the Department of Agriculture in 1991. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f9ff176efe28b5952ecdb89/5fcf8cda57846c5b835a7b89/5fcf8d3424ae147ef3e1f235/1607530641061/169A3034.jpg Our Story https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f9ff176efe28b5952ecdb89/5fcf8cda57846c5b835a7b89/5fcf907d0ff3944fc55f341d/1607438493080/Screen%2BShot%2B2019-10-30%2Bat%2B20.54.36.jpg Our Story https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f9ff176efe28b5952ecdb89/5fcf8cda57846c5b835a7b89/5fcf90a50496d067bdd81f7b/1607362775895/F2M+Day+02-0358.jpg Our Story https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f9ff176efe28b5952ecdb89/5fcf8cda57846c5b835a7b89/5fcf8d9d1b45e152edcc35e2/1607363181730/A58I6525.jpg Our Story https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f9ff176efe28b5952ecdb89/5fcf8cda57846c5b835a7b89/5fcf8d4805f6f278075e6aaa/1607530626759/169A3082.jpg Our Story https://www.farmerstomarket.ie/our-chicken daily 0.75 2020-12-14 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f9ff176efe28b5952ecdb89/t/5fd7abf8d1243a51f519e065/1607969787946/Charles_chicken_7102009824.jpg Our Chicken https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f9ff176efe28b5952ecdb89/t/5fd7ac18cdabfb277c09e2c1/1607969821719/shutterstock_1518775592%2B%25281%2529.jpg Our Chicken https://www.farmerstomarket.ie/menu-4 daily 0.75 2020-12-14 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f9ff176efe28b5952ecdb89/t/5fcf82ff57846c5b8359061a/1607435011559/Fried+Chicken+burger.jpg Chicken Recipes Fried Chicken Burger https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f9ff176efe28b5952ecdb89/t/5fcf82d10ff3944fc55d1d68/1607434964882/Food_Roast_1a.jpg Chicken Recipes The Smith Family’sRoast Chicken https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f9ff176efe28b5952ecdb89/t/5fcf843668c18617d414b76c/1607444692846/Spatchcock+1.jpg Chicken Recipes - Spatchcock Chicken https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f9ff176efe28b5952ecdb89/t/5fcf83de0496d067bdd5ffd9/1607449491499/Chicken+stock.jpg Chicken Recipes - Homemade Stock https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f9ff176efe28b5952ecdb89/t/5fcf84bf0496d067bdd6256e/1607436128523/Spice+bag+1.jpg Chicken Recipes - Homemade Spicebag https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f9ff176efe28b5952ecdb89/t/5fcf848924ae147ef3e09515/1607501769935/Chicken+Ramen.jpg Chicken Recipes - Chicken Ramen https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f9ff176efe28b5952ecdb89/t/5fcf8364556296156155135b/1607500549564/Chicken+curry.jpg Chicken Recipes Benagli Chicken Curry https://www.farmerstomarket.ie/our-farm daily 0.75 2020-12-14 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f9ff176efe28b5952ecdb89/t/5fce5d47662d5e24e0d53288/1607359818881/WhatsApp%252BImage%252B2020-09-23%252Bat%252B17.01.27.jpg Our Farm - Sustainability Sustainability is one of our core values and is considered in everything we do.
